Best way to make hash browns on a Blackstone

At RD the other day I found a 10# box of shredded hash browns for $3 (expiring in a week). Figured I would give them a shot.
Tried cooking them by just throwing them on the Blackstone with a little oil and tossing them around, but they cooked very unevenly.
Any suggestions?

Haven't tried that brand, but a par cook in the microwave or drying overnight helped my hash brown game with fresh grated and frozen as well. Gotta get em dryer to get browned.

Put them in clean kitchen towel and squeeze all the moisture out.
Oil your pan, but in your instance the griddle. Lay them out thin mash them together and let sit. Once they set together flip and cook. I ususlly season and cover them to cook the other side up and have the great crust that hash browns just need to be good !
i have had the thought to use some corn starch and let them sit in fridge to dry up though.-FATC1TY

This is my method.
Get the griddle nice and hot. Once you put down the hash browns, use your squirt bottle with oil to apply an even amount of oil. Cover. Once browned / crispy to your liking, flip, apply more oil, and then cook the rest of the way uncovered.

Fresh potatoes - shred, squeeze out excess water, par cook in microwave for a few minutes, oil griddle, flatten and cook until brown, flip the whole thing without tearing it up, cook other side until crispy and brown.

I think the covering is what I'm missing. In the frying pan I do this, but not on the blackstone. I'll have to figure out some sort of cover...Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

@Jeremiah I've got a couple melting domes that work ok. Even better is a large pot lid. If I'm cooking for the masses, a 14" kettle lid works great.

I don't have a Blackstone, but I really think the crucial thing is leaving them alone until they've browned, then flipping them over and, again, leaving them alone until they've browned. Never flip them if they're not browned on the bottom. You just keep growing and flipping, browning again and flipping, until there's enough browned stuff scattered through the potatoes to your taste.

There was a diner nearby that made the best hashbrowns, they were loose, not formed into a cake, but deliciously browned and wonderful. I've never been able to replicate, and they're out of business now.
Will be watching this thread; thanks._____________Tin soldiers and Johnson's coming...

A skillet is a North American term for a frying pan (UK: frypan). It's usually round in shape and made in a variety of metals (usually iron, steel, aluminium or copper). Often in the North American context, it's usually made of cast or wrought iron (see pic below).

A griddle is a heavy cast-iron or wrought-iron plate (usually square in shape) that's heated in a variety of ways for cooking food. A griddle historically used to be a miner's sieve with a wire bottom, and sometimes this is still the meaning for some people.

I haven't tried covering them, maybe that's what's been missing in mine. I'd say that mine are pretty good, just not perfect. They are a lot better if I've just cooked some bacon and cook them in the bacon grease.1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC
